What I was saying a couple of years ago is, they could update the Careers, So that Detectives and those who Criminals can be woven together.
The Detective be assigned or the player can choose to pick up an assignment, to work an overnight shift, to Guard a museum, or a Mansion while the resident is away, and then we have a potential break in. which lands a criminal in jail.
From the Criminal Career perspective, your sim can have special interactions to break into place. and before you start the "Break-In" event you'll receive a pop-up on the Difficulty:
Lightly Guarded (Easy): either No Guards on patrol or maybe two Guards on Patrol.
Moderately Guarded (Normal): three Guards on patrol
Heavily Guarded (Hard): 5 guards on patrol.
Crimes that are safe for the Sims 4 that could land a Sim in jail:
Burglary, Embezzlement, Forgery, Bribery, Arson, Disturbing the Peace, Vandalism, Stalking.
There is one more I'd like to say, but since this is a game it's also fair game... But This is also something The Player should also decide if it's illegal or not in their own game so...
